Actually, no. It's because he's managed to show the value in information organization, data programming, and the overall value in mixed polls over individual polls. And he's not your typical hero. He's a little, gay, geeky guy who would have been spit on in my high school.

I admire him a great deal, and I feel like this year, he really earned Person of the Year.

And until this point we didn't realize there was value in organization and data programming?

Substantively, he isn't anything more than the political version of Jimmy the Greek.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I don't expect everyone to agree with me. The question was who I thought should be the Person of the Year, not who would get everyone's approval. :mellow:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Yeah, the TIME article mentions almost nothing about Obama's first term; just how impressed they are with how he won female, minority, and young voters (again).

Pretty lame.  Time might as well make the Presidential election winner the Person of the Year every four years.
